Bulldog Character and Training
Posted by Jeanne on December 18, 2008
Bulldogs love a walk or a romp. Unless you have two pups living together, it is an excellent idea to have a regular period of exercise, preferably a walk on a lead. The sooner this is started, the easier it is for man and dog. While a three-month-old puppy will take just right now to the collar
Bulldogs, from early puppyhood, want to do what you want. Sometimes a youngster seems not to want to understand, but that is more over-anxiety than stubbornness.
When he is small, there is nothing more engaging than a bulldog puppy on your lap. Suddenly, he is six months old, weighs 50 pounds, and still thinks he can sit on you and rest his head on your shoulder! The time to teach him his place is when he is still small enough for you to put him there. It is your job to visualize the size he will someday be. He can’t know it, and he generally doesn’t want to annoy you.
Every bulldog should have a place of his own where he can retire for peace and quiet. It may be a box in the basement, the foot of your bed, or under the kitchen table. Wherever you choose will suit him, as long as it is always available to him. I prefer a spot with a gate that can be securely closed. No matter how much you love a dog, time comes when he should be put away for awhile. He will not resent being confined to his own quarters.
